You know, I see Minit the opposite way. Minit is an otherwise unimpressive game made incredibly interesting by the additional 60 second restriction placed on the player. These puzzles are a lot more interesting when you can only try to piece them together 60 seconds at a time, and every time you step outside, you need to do it with a very specific plan on what you're going to try this time. And honestly, the fact that you can beat it in an hour and be done doesn't really bother me.
Trinity I completely lost my shit when that happened and missed a minit laughing. Then another minit finding your comment and posting this response too.
I loved the “Obligatory Dark Souls Reference”, it really shocked me and I love to see you changing stuff up (even in just minor ways). Your content is so solid and I always watch your videos the moment they’re out, keep up the good work!
It's a game made quickly with a small team to experiment with a fun mechanic. Definitely a great game if you go into it with the right expectations, a fun interesting 2 hour long experience.
That's a shame. I'd heard a lot of praise for the 60-second life mechanic, though I can't help but feel that it's from people getting too carried away with how the concept could be utilised, as opposed to how it's actually executed. Ah well, made for an interesting review anyway.
Hi, I just found your channel through your Hollow Knight analysis and Ive been binge watching all your videos, I hope you haven't abandoned your channel as I really enjoy your hour long reviews/analysis videos, I just wanted to say keep up the good work.
Don’t worry, he hasn’t abandoned his channel, the next video he is making is on the new god of war, his long videos just take a really long time to make
I've rarely run into a game where my initial reaction of "oh, this looks interesting" has turned to "this isn't for me" as quickly as it did with Minit. I haven't just played free games with more content than this, I've played a *dozen* free games with more content, and more interesting premises to boot. The closest thing I can think of to this was a very lightweight exploration game called Fairune that I bought for a couple of bucks to play on my 3DS. On the other hand we have a game like Kero Blaster, which I gladly paid ten bucks for and have played for something like ten hours at this point without getting bored. I don't think you're at all wrong to call this overpriced. To me this seems like an indie game for people who don't usually play indie games and expect very little of them. Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt was made in 72 hours and *it* feels more polished than this. What a letdown.
How the fuck can you compare Mario to Minit if your progress is savind in those 60 seconds? If the timer runs out an a Mario level, the Goomba you jumped on doesn't stay dead does it?
I really like when you offer suggestions to improve games. It’s often my favorite part about your videos. You have a great mind for improving many games in very interesting ways. If your books are half as interesting I would probably love reading those as well. The one thing I’m missing is the early viewing of videos. I don’t think you’ll ever stop everyone from sharing the early access link but it would be cool if we still got the benefit even if someone abuses it.
Normally never comment prior to watching a video but I made it here early and wanted to say that I’m looking forward to it! Love it when you upload and hope things are going well for you!
This was a really good video, I feel like your content is getting better with every video! I like watching super long game critics when I'm going to bed, and for awhile I always thought yours where ok but over the past handful of videos they've gotten way better thanks for the content man.
My favourite thing about this channel is the really great solutions you come with for mechanic of narrative issues in games that you're obliged to "admit" are not that great
I'm so glad your review exists I thought I was living in an alternate universe where this game was the best thing ever created. Every single review praised it to death an beyond, I bought it, played it, and it was all types of meh.
I think it is safe to say that your reviews are excellent when I have solidified opinions on liking the games that you review negatively and yet I still find a lot of enjoyment in it. These reviews aren't circle-jerks on loving or hating a game; they are solely for you to voice your own opinion and I have to give you high respect for it. Thanks for the videos and entertainment!
It would really be cool of you analysed the ins and outs of Terraria, but it would take you around 600 hours to even come close to doing everything that you can do in that game, so I understand if it never happens. However, I'm confident in saying it's the most *Game* you can get for $10 anywhere on the market, so you could try looking at it from that perspective.
The 3 important take-aways of this video: - Joseph watches Supernatural - "Super Marayo World" - Obligatory Dark Souls Reference Oh yeah, the video is great as always!
While I agree that a loop would have been more interesting, I have no idea how you believe that the plant growing doesn't make sense. If it was a time loop, then the plant's growth would RESET. But it's not a loop; time persists, so you are able to grow the plant over a series of days
There is a 0:08 movie where there is an 8 second loop over and over with every time it being a little different until it becomes so much you doubt its just 8 seconds. I would love such a concept in a game if it is implemented well. Im not sure I want to pay such a price for such a game though
Cut the review into 13 videos, 1 minute each.
Now THAT'S meta.
and it would help drive his point. even if in an annoying way.
Or start his introduction again when 1 minute is up, each time presenting different point.
*this is why we're still alive in 2018 god bless u*
*1 minit
Now that's Adsense, baby
This running joke about fucking up Mario’s name is actually the best part of this channel
Nintendo copyright claims are no joke.
Only reason why I'm here
Anyone know if he’s done this running joke in other videos? I’ve only seen it twice so far, here and the SMO video.
It stems from his normal pronunciation of Mario is "Mare-io" rather than "Mahr-io"
Never before have I heard someone mispronounce jumpman so horrendously.
*_SUPER MARARIO WORLD_*
Mikkel Høg *Black Messa*
I didn't hear anything he said after that.
Its a pun on previous videos where people kept commenting on how he pronounced Mario as Maraio :D
yeah I know, the comments on the odyssey video are full of it
thats not how "puns" work @@odayprogrammer
SUPER MA RAYO WORLD
are you me?
aniforprez nope just another copycat
enough of us and we could probably plan an assassination
aniforprez or blackmail a company
houston we have a problem

"Super *Maraio* World"
I AM LARGE AND ANGRY OVER THIS
I deeply enjoy the giant middle finger in the form of the pronunciation of the word "Mario".
I appreciate the little jabs between you and Mandalor Gaming. Adds a lot to the believability of the "UA-cam Video Game Critics' Extended Universe".
A short and snacky Joeseph Anderson video, just what I needed for my Saturday evening!
We have a lot of saturdays where joseph makes a 2 hour short and snacky video. I like those saturdays.
Perpetual Peter please never use snacky as an adjective. It makes me uncomfortable haha
Short and snacky video for a short and snacky game.

When I first saw the video, I thought the title was “Mint review”. I was thinking Joseph lost his goddamn mind and started making shit post reviews.
The obligatory Dark Souls reference~
Trinity I completely lost my shit when that happened and missed a minit laughing. Then another minit finding your comment and posting this response too.
I remember, Joe once said on stream "I like these silly jokes and memes on twitch, but i wouldn't want them to seep into my videos." He failed.
I loved the “Obligatory Dark Souls Reference”, it really shocked me and I love to see you changing stuff up (even in just minor ways). Your content is so solid and I always watch your videos the moment they’re out, keep up the good work!
Aaaaaah Canadian property value jokes. Yknow, Joe... I watch your videos to ESCAPE reality DAMMIT!
how did this go unnoticed for two years
@@irespectyouropinionhowever8652 is that the real zalinki, my god
"This makes the plant growing bit make little sense"
... It's growing over time. It would in fact make LESS sense if time were restting.
i thought the same thing
It's a game made quickly with a small team to experiment with a fun mechanic. Definitely a great game if you go into it with the right expectations, a fun interesting 2 hour long experience.
Then it shouldn't be $10
That's a shame. I'd heard a lot of praise for the 60-second life mechanic, though I can't help but feel that it's from people getting too carried away with how the concept could be utilised, as opposed to how it's actually executed. Ah well, made for an interesting review anyway.
I've often fallen into the trap of enjoying something for what I thought it could be and not what it was...
Timothy McLean did that with swindle.
Unpopular opinion but I friggin love minit
Game Revo Form your own opinions.
I feel like that happens a lot with indie games that have unconventional mechanics.
Mispronouncing Mario as much as possible to satirize all of the petty complaints on the Odyssey video; well played.
Geonjaha ikr. He didn't like it much. Big deal. His opinion. People love blowing things out of proportion.
@@Dingus7696 i think it was more because people were irritated with the way he pronounced Marios name, so it's a running gag now
@@juliuspoensgen4369 aaah. Okay. Lol
I, as someone generally opposed to serious speedrunning, liked it as a simple puzzle game with an emphasis on optimally routing your path.
Why are you opposed to it?

Idk about the game I just need to hear Joseph's voice
thats sad
christopher fieb I'm sorry his voice is amazing
Go to his second channel and watch those Q&A videos!
Nasigil I do
Ever heard of “EpicNameBro”? He sounds similar so Joseph, he does Dark Souls videos and others
Wow toronto real estate humor? Hello fellow torontonian!
How the fuck can you compare Mario to Minit if your progress is savind in those 60 seconds? If the timer runs out an a Mario level, the Goomba you jumped on doesn't stay dead does it?
You leave Mandy alone, Bad Dragon, he's a gud boi
3:16. Why do you do this to us, Joseph, do we deserve this suffering?
I really like when you offer suggestions to improve games. It’s often my favorite part about your videos. You have a great mind for improving many games in very interesting ways.

Have you played a game, with also time loop system, named The Sexy Brutale?
I can only imagine what you're working on if it's taking four months. The excitement is palpable
God of war
@Joseph Anderson: Less than 15 minutes of video length? What is this witchcraft!? Who are you and what have you done to Joe!? :O
Oooh. A Mandalore Gaming reference. Neat.
Cepuminator it was very neat
Indeed
So this is a watered down 1 minute hero?
3 months boys
WE GOT SOMETHIN BIG COMING
"O b l i g a t o r y D a r k S o u l s R e f e r e n c e"
1. Buy the game
2. Play it in under two hours
3. Refund it
4. No profit, but no loss
The time limit mechanic was done really well in half minute hero. I really enjoyed my time with it and it surprisingly had a lot of content.
That ending line gets me everytime.
Awesome video as always!
Love the new stylish additions you made, they lightened up the video, and got a laugh out of me. Keep up the awesome content!
I love watching your patreon climb! Seeing such high quality content being rewarded is incredibly satisfying.
Normally never comment prior to watching a video but I made it here early and wanted to say that I’m looking forward to it! Love it when you upload and hope things are going well for you!
You went so far out there with amusing references in this video, great editing. You made me lol.
Yo man, the bit about pouring water down the dude's snorkel...brilliant. Got a good laugh out of me.
Did you do this review just for the minute pun at the end?
We all know he *absolutely* did.
He was tossing that one around in his head for a good while playing through the game
Minute (my noot), as in small, instead of minute (min it) as in a measurement of time.
Your idea to pour water down the snorkel guy's snorkel made me spit out my water in laughter
published 1 minute ago
There is always an episode of supernatural that does *insert clever gimmick* really well
You are so proud of that "not minute, minute " quip at the end
Its nice to see that you started doing some editing in the videos. that obligatory dark souls reference part was really good.
Super Mar-io World
Got em
I'm going to assume "mar-aye-oh" was a jab at people who complained about "mehrio". GG
4:18 Come on dude I just took a sip of water and now its everywhere
This was a really good video, I feel like your content is getting better with every video!
I like watching super long game critics when I'm going to bed, and for awhile I always thought yours where ok but over the past handful of videos they've gotten way better thanks for the content man.
What was that about "the subtle ways Human Revolution used [time being a resource]" at 1:13? I don't recall anything like that from that game
When you can get Hollow Knight on sale for $9.89, but this costs $10
“Obligatory dark souls reference” I expect this every time you make a dark souls reference
My favourite thing about this channel is the really great solutions you come with for mechanic of narrative issues in games that you're obliged to "admit" are not that great
JOSEPH ANDERSON, MARK BROWN, ERRANT SIGNAL. You three are the true heros
I'm so glad your review exists I thought I was living in an alternate universe where this game was the best thing ever created. Every single review praised it to death an beyond, I bought it, played it, and it was all types of meh.
Watching this video 5 times to reach 1 hour watchtime
...why?...
Dollars per hour is not a valid way to judge a game. 🙄🙄🙄
Love the advancements in editing dude, keep it up!
The obligatory dark souls reference is my new favourite thing in this world.
Why did you pronounced Mario like that Joseph?
How could you do that to me?
CHKrieg he did it to _all_ of us
YOU ARE TEARING ME APART JOSEPH!!
in the plant's defense, the guy hints at waiting in line.
Progressively getting further from the proper pronunciation of Mario is perfect and I love him
nice job with the 'obligatory dark souls reference' part. great video as always, joe.
What a bummer. Great example of a concept never fleshed out. That minute pun at the end, though... was the perfect ending.
I think it is safe to say that your reviews are excellent when I have solidified opinions on liking the games that you review negatively and yet I still find a lot of enjoyment in it. These reviews aren't circle-jerks on loving or hating a game; they are solely for you to voice your own opinion and I have to give you high respect for it. Thanks for the videos and entertainment!
You think that house would sell for 1 million in Toronto. Try London, a shed sold for 500 grand here!
"Modest house that would still sell for over a $1million in Toronto" so sad but true
That snorkel guy comes up once you’ve killed enough of the guys near him, that’s what he means by “it’s safe?”
I didn’t hear a single “but, we’ll get back to that later”
that dark souls cut holy shit. Laughing so fucking hard
holy shit i need that OBLIGATORY DARK SOULS REFERENCE jingle as a ringtone or something.
Dark souls reference? Careful, or Shammy might cut ya!
Joseph, I don't remember your sense of humor being this on-point.
a short video that isnt a shit post?! What a time to be alive.
It would really be cool of you analysed the ins and outs of Terraria, but it would take you around 600 hours to even come close to doing everything that you can do in that game, so I understand if it never happens. However, I'm confident in saying it's the most *Game* you can get for $10 anywhere on the market, so you could try looking at it from that perspective.
4:19 hello there Bill Wurtz, fancy meeting you here
Dude. That was brutal. You must have been pissed. lol
The 3 important take-aways of this video:
- Joseph watches Supernatural
- "Super Marayo World"
- Obligatory Dark Souls Reference
Oh yeah, the video is great as always!
The Obligatory Dark Souls Reference™ is my favourite segment. I hope to see it again in another video.
Your channel is the best thing I ever stumbled on UA-cam
You came in for the kill with that last line.
Somewhere in the distance, Shammy is screaming at Joe comparing something to Dark Souls.
Loved your Toronto real estate joke, didn't know you were Canadian!
The 'obligatory dark souls reference' intro was pretty hysterical
3:17 I see what you did there, you sneaky Devil
While I agree that a loop would have been more interesting, I have no idea how you believe that the plant growing doesn't make sense. If it was a time loop, then the plant's growth would RESET. But it's not a loop; time persists, so you are able to grow the plant over a series of days
So you're saying
I can finish the game and get it refunded.
There is a 0:08 movie where there is an 8 second loop over and over with every time it being a little different until it becomes so much you doubt its just 8 seconds. I would love such a concept in a game if it is implemented well. Im not sure I want to pay such a price for such a game though
It sounds like a game jam idea that was made into a full product.
I know this is a weird nitpick, but you just dropped a "Super Marr-eye-oh World" at 3:16 and it made me laugh.
"evil assholes by pouring water down the snorkel"... pretty sure early dragonball did that with hot tea against the ninja in the muscle tower
30 seconds in “Yep definitely never ever going to play this, tell me all about it Joe.”
The obligatory Dark Souls reference jingle was great.
HURR HURR HURR HURR
Very welcome surprise Joe. I’m glad you put this out.
That Toronto housing joke was too real man
hah, the introduction being just one minute is a nice touch!
